Both games on Prime were appallingly low standard and dull last night. Hard to believe we are not a better team than any of those 4 teams. Let's hope tonight's offerings are a tad more entertaining. Cue for a 0-0 at SMS?

...and you get that back quickly in saved P & P charges. It's an absolute no brainer. There are more matches on over Christmas so very good value seeing as though you can watch your favourite team rather the boring old top six selection that Sky dishes out.

Sadly, I agree with you only more likely 2-0 as our defence has lost its compactness lately with Livramento in particular being caught out of position too often. Just a reminder to everyone that we are being shown live on Amazon Prime tomorrow evening.

Normally part of the U18 set up where he is scoring for fun, the lad has now had two or three outings with the B team and has scored on each appearance. The latest thrashing of high flying WBA suggest the Academy is upping the ante at last and who knows they may have found themselves a rising future star? Could he be in the first team squad next season, after all if our two As continue their recent scoring form then why not? Certainly one to keep an eye on. I haven't seen him play but presumably some of you have, what's the prognosis?

Armstrong is a very limited player and what you see is all you are going to get but to be fair he was up against a world class defender yesterday who happens to be 2 feet taller than him with a stride and speed over the ground to match. That was never going to be a fair or equal contest.

A morning for reflection. Many of you have missed the whole point of Ralph's team selection and set-up for this match. It is quite obvious that he set us up to stop Mane & Sala from scoring and he succeeded, they rarely had a sniff so what are you complaining about?

No it's not! No KWP, Redmond or Armstrong for starters. 1-5 today in this weather

Sounds depressingly familiar.

You do write some disgusting garbage.

Just watch your back.

Can't read it as not a subscriber.

It's a fair point and if there is a need then we should set one up. What 'though would be its mission and objectives? That's a rhetorical question of course but if such a body was to be established it would need a clear remit and a defined role within the Club's structure. At the moment there is no fan representation or voice on the Club Board but then again it is not a public company with no access to share participation. I think a group to represent fans is a better idea than a sole fan member on the Club Board for rather obvious reasons with the proviso that the group must be democratically chosen to represent the wide range of people and interests that support the Club. Jack and a few of his mates forming a group is certainly not the way forward. There may be a model on which to base it.

Only because those blokes are multi millionaires as well.

That's why you would fail as a business man. It makes good sense for Plan C......

Back from where, I didn't know he'd been away

Agree. I think he is jaded and has lost a bit of confidence, if you noticed he's more prone to passing backwards now rather than taking a man on. His one on one defending has looked bit shaky too. It has cost us and for large parts of his last couple of games the right wing threat has diminished. As to his future, it is good for us that James has been so outstanding for Chelsea that the spotlight on Livramento may have dimmed somewhat.

I see 10, really.

This thread is one of the worst ever to appear on the forum. Some loon invents a nickname for one of our reasonably decent players as a put down and then encourages others to jump on a band wagon and trash him. Shame on those who fell into his trap. This childish idiocy makes me sick, why don't you sod off CAH61 and find another club to support as clearly Saints are nor for you.

Ralph looked pissed off after yesterday's capitulation. Never heard him blame players before. If Man U come in for him he'll go

Impressive analysis.

The knives are out for Walcott but there were atrocious performances all over the park today, McCarthy, Livramento, Broja all clueless. Diallo is a defender not a No 10 Ralph! We are turning into a one half team; Smith neutralised us again today as he did in the second half against Villa. Obviously doesn't take much craft to knock us off our stride but to be frank we had so much possession in the fist half to have been 4-1 up. Nobody can blame Walcott for the abysmal lack of composure and quality in the 18 yard box in those first 45 mins.

What an insult, one of the questions on Millionaire last night was about which club suffered two 9-0 defeats in the PL and the contestant got it right. Better news that Harry went home with Nowt - out on the 'gimme' questions at the start, can you believe that.

Where abouts in North London do you live? Hampstead? Bishops Avenue? Do tell.....

So did Maya Yoshida and his family often dined in the restaurant below. Saw them in there several times.

Indeed it was but as resident of CF at the time it was puzzling to understand why they would want to live there. Thornden School used to be the best comprehensive in Hampshire so that may have been one attraction. Bally's daughter was in the same class as my younger son. Of course players salaries were much lower then than now and the days of gold plated palaces hidden from view were still to come. Alan Ball's property and Mark Wright's IIRC were modest even by the standards then.
